Final Order Cut-Off Highlights for 3/18/19

Final Order Cut-Off is the last day that shops can guarantee their orders for comics. After Final Order Cut-Off, or FOC, these books will only be available to retailers on Advance Reorder. And that is not guaranteed. So here are the highlights for Monday, 3/18/19’s FOC list.

Marvel

SYMBIOTE SPIDER-MAN #1 ARTGERM VARIANT – a ton of covers on this but loving the Artgerm Gwen cover.

WEB OF VENOM CULT OF CARNAGE #1 – So pumped about the return of Carnage. Marvel has been building toward this. Dell Otto provides an awesome 1:50 variant

AGE OF CONAN BELIT #2 – another great looking regular cover by Sana Takeda

SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN #4 – awesome Alex Ross regular cover. Just incredible.

X-FORCE #6 FEDERICI ASGARDIAN VAR – Ricardo Federici has provided some great covers recently. This is another great one.

DC

BATMAN WHO LAUGHS #4 KAARE ANDREWS VARIANT – Great looking cover featuring Batman Who Laughs and his Robins.

CATWOMAN #10 ARTGERM VARIANT – Artgerm nails it again. Wait until you see issue #11. It is another winner.

DETECTIVE COMICS #1001 FINCH VARIANT – Arkham Knight has arrived in Gotham.

RED HOOD OUTLAW #33 LUCIO PARRILLO VARIANT – Pointed out this cover a few weeks ago. It is just awesome.

COLD BLOOD SAMURAI #1 – A feudal Japan with anthropomorphic and samurai animals inspired by Homer’s poem on “War of Mice and Frogs.” As in the classic poem, one tells of the futility of war and the desire for peace by Gaijin, a foreign salamander in a Japan of frogs invaded by lizards.

FAITHLESS #1 – Three covers, a great Lee Bermejo, A Paul Pope cover, and a bagged Lotay Erotica variant. “Faith likes to dabble with magic. Her friends think it’s cute-and not just a little off-putting, but it’s part of her charm and her warped search for purpose in a world that makes too much sense. But she’s a true believer and knows there is a power within her reach. She’s right, of course. It just took a while for that magic, that temptation, that unknowable thing to find her . . .
In short- Faith is bored as hell. And Hell has noticed. New York Times bestselling writer Brian Azzarello and artist Maria Llovet.”

ORPHAN AGE #1 – One day all the adults died, all over the world, at the same time. Now it’s twenty years later, and the children – all grown up – are still rebuilding the world.

JUGHEAD HUNGER VS VAMPIRONICA #1 CVR C HACK – Awesome throw back to old VHS boxes sitting on the shelves in video stores. Cool cover.
